Meet Kaleb...

Kaleb, 13

My life on the island is really cool, school is really laid back and I have a lot of friends and stuff. I like the crafts and how everyone is so helpful. I learned to keep the whole armor of God on and you’ll be safe. I think basketball, sports, movies and a lot of other things will help my friends who don’t come to church, come. I find a lot of my friends at camp and school. 

I’d like to see Humbly I Serve have an overnight camp here. It’d be a fun time for everyone to have fellowship and play games and have a chapel time. At night we could have basketball games and stuff like that. A lot of kids like camp and sometimes their parents need a break. This is a really good Bible Boot Camp and a lot of children go it!

Humbly I Serve is a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to reaching the children and youth of the Caribbean. We desire not only to fulfill their immediate basic needs, but also to show them God's love through implementing long-term medical, recreational, and outreach programs.  

Plans.

After a long week and a few days of travel, the 2012 St. Thomas team has all dispersed to continue on to their normal lives. This time last week the Bible Boot Camp was well underway and the team had started to feel a minor, but still present, fatigue as late nights and early mornings became the norm.

For the team and kids Bible Boot Camp has become a memory... But the work God did that week is continuing...

This year we had over 90 kids attend Bible Boot Camp and 12 decided to become followers of Christ! 

After spending a couple years establishing the Bible Boot Camp program, Humbly I Serve is excited to seek other ways to help serve Grace Baptist Church and the island of St. Thomas.

"Humbly I Serve is not about a week program," Founder and President of HIS Ministries, Melinda Wilson said. "Humbly I Serve Ministries is about creating ongoing and genuine relationships with the goals to inspire and create a sustainable change within a community. HIS Ministries is thrilled to be at a place where we can serve Grace Baptist in other ways, now that the Bible Boot Camp has been fully established." 

While HIS Ministries was in St. Thomas, meetings were conducted and more needs were seen. HIS Ministries is will be announcing another amazing way the Lord has provided for us to serve in St. Thomas, soon!

Thank you for your prayers during this trip! We appreciate your prayers as the Lord continues to lead Humbly I Serve.

Bible Bootcamp: Armor of God

We made it and God has been working....

Our journey started at 1:00 am Friday morning. We gave our trip to the Lord, hopped in the van and made our way to DC. After two flights and one delay, we were in St. Thomas!

We have met some amazing servants of Christ through this trip! The genuine care for the hearts of island youth is evident and incredible. Churches are fervently praying to see kids come back to church and make good choices for their lives.

There is a great need for youth discipleship in St. Thomas and that's why Humbly I Serve is here! We have been reaching out the children and the Lord has been working!






Bible Bootcamp is like a VBS program, full of music,
Bible lessons, crafts, games, candy and prizes! The church and children have been promoting the Bible Bootcamp program
the past few weeks and it has been well received in the community. While our team eagerly anticipated what the
Lord has in store for the children; the children arrived early
to see what Humbly I Serve had in store for them! The excitement and large number of children gave us an indication that God was up to something and our team feels so blessed
to be a part of it all!






This year's theme is the Armor of God. The stage is set up like a bootcamp and the lessons work through a different piece of the armor each night.

Monday lesson was on the helmet of salvation. Kim did a wonderful job presenting the gospel last night and it was amazing to see several children inquire more about the Lord and want to pursue a relationship with him!

Theme Bible Verse.

God brought us Christian music artist, Beckah Shae and the kids loved her performance! She helped open up the program and Humbly I Serve is excited to have her for part of this trip! She also brought a friend with her, Oracle and he rapped for the kids! Of course, they loved him as well. We are so thankful for such a wonderful group to join with us!
